We (my friends and I) made up a completely new class called "the holomiter" that has a holloconverter, a hollolauncher and a hollopad as his kit. The converter changes nitra to hollomite, which is his passive, and then he uses the hollomite to power his tools. Weapons are the hollolauncher (rocket launcher) and the hollocracker (side arm revolver shotgun that fires fracturing hollomite crystals) and then his utility is the hollopad, a levitation pad that floats dwarves upwards. His additional tool is the holloscanner (let's him find hollomite) and his grenade is the hollonade which encases everything nearby in a layer of hollomite, kind of like a permanent freeze. We completely gaslit our other friend into believing the hollomiter was real, and even made a purple engineer that looked like a new class, and convinced him he'd be a sick hollomiter player so he downloaded the game

[@strcmdrbookwyrm]

I think that sometimes the curse can reach beyond Driller. Recently I was playing with four friends and one was another person playing driller for the first time, and for context I was playing engineer (as I often do). He actually somehow didn't blow anyone up, thankfully. As we were heading for the droppod after a successful escort mission, I got the evil feeling that he was having too much fun whipping his flamethrower around. So after he says something like "burn in holy fire!" I just casually walk up to him a said "How about no?" and launched a hyperpropellent gernade right in his face. Needless to say, but he went down.

[@nameisnttaylor]

interesting theory, i think you're onto something

[@megawl2086]

Curse of the Fat Boy is also a thing, i once had an engi on my team who whole accidentally downed everyone except himself with his nuke, nearly lost the mission because of that

Can't believe I got to comment on a nameistaylor video! on a side remark, them's some really RED exploders. They definitely add to the menacing aura they give off when they rapidly fill your screen with RED as they skitter to you. And to the rest of your team's credit, there were SO many exploders that mission; if only they all had grappling hooks to help them flee from exploding swarms of death.

3:48 Digging random tunnels is also a part of the Driller's Curse, Drillers just randomly dig trap tunnels as an instinct even before they get the ripper grenade, usually they blow up the target once it's deep enough or if they have rippers, they just flood the tunnel with these things which obliterates both teammates and enemies

You know, I do like watching this videos a lot, and seeing you and your friends slowly and painstakingly get better at the game, but I think at the very least that you should learn what exactly the perk system is, and specifically what each of the perks do. The majority of them are pretty bad and unhelpful. "AxisKronos" another content creator on KZbin, has made an excellent video on the subject, where he goes through all the perks and tells you exactly how viable they are in Hazard 5. The video is called, "BEST PERKS FOR HAZARD 5 / DEEP ROCK GALACTIC", in all caps. I would also recommend his video for armor loadouts, he touches on the subject when he talks about Resupplier and Breathing Room. It's a pleasure to watch your videos, Taylor! Rock and Stone, Brother!

I speak from experience when I say that the driller's curse can be contracted by just about any class with big AoE damage; this includes instances such as engie with his Fat Boy PGL, and Gunner with his leadburster and newly acquired Autocannon Mortar Rounds. Long story short, Scout is never safe

[@eyllyssaunders5345]

[@Argom42]

I call it "driller brain" or "driller syndrome" and its common among driller mains but can happen to any class in the right circumstances. Driller syndrome often presents as a more serious version of driller brain, being that they are that way for the ENTIRE stay in the lobby with driller syndrome. Driller brain on the other hand, is a momentarily lapse in judgement that usually presents as the driller zipping ahead through the cave and getting themselves killed by a cave leave or a grabber or something completely avoidable if they had only stayed with the team. There has been a proper epidemic of driller syndrome in the past year or so with driller brain often being an early warning sign. Fear not though! If you immediately kill a driller that exhibits symptoms of driller brain usually cures them temporarily and if they recieve enough cleansing deaths, they may be cured entirely (more research needed). Anyway stay safe out there! Rock and Stone!

2 things, to answer on the DRG son or minecraft girl is honestly 50/50 for me. With a minecraft girl it'll be easy for her to get views on that on youtube. DRG son would be a cool guy but it'll take work and a bit of time to get the ball rolling on that, especially if they're solo, but if they got friends, it'll be a good enough time for them to pop off on it. And another thing, funny story on the whole "driller team killing c4 schtick" I have this one vivid memory of accidentally killing a scout as driller. So I was somewhat starting out but far enough to unlocked a couple of the weapons so far and unlocked the Cryo gun for the driller. I was on a morkite extraction mission with a full team of randoms. There was a huge swarm of enemies that I froze, thinking that it wasn't gonna be enough to kill them all with my secondary I just decided to c4 the group of bugs. Then the scout somehow just teleported, grappled onto the middle of those bugs as soon as I detonated it killing him instantly. I didn't even mean to he just appeared there.

[@nameisnttaylor]

good thinking!
